history

Central Park Rangers started as a humble five-a-side team who played at Chelsea Piers. It was player Paul Clayton who had the idea to create an 11-a-side club whilst at work, sitting across from the Barnstonworth Rovers President. On Wednesday February 17th, 1999, the Chelsea Piers team convened to the midtown Irish bar, Thady Con’s, and the seeds of CPR were sown. One thing’s for sure, you will be happy that the founding members did not stick with their five-a-side name: ‘Blue Hawaii’. No seriously, that was the name.

Two weeks after that night in Thady Con’s the first ever CPR team took to the field on Roosevelt Island in a friendly against Barnstonworth Rovers. The game ended in a 4-1 defeat, with Rich Veysey scoring the very first CPR goal. Soon we had a team in the MetroSoccer league and that fall we entered the Cosmopolitan Soccer League, coached by former Malmö and Sweden youth player, Casper Pauckstadt. Yes, 1999 was the start of something beautiful.

Each year the club has grown, new teams have emerged: men, women and youth, and today CPR can proudly boast of being one of the best represented clubs in the New York City area.
